Question : Let $x=\frac{\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}}$ and $y=\frac{1}{x}$, then the value of $3x^{2}-5xy+3y^{2}$ is:
Option 1: 1717
Option 2: 1177
Option 3: 1771
Option 4: 1171
Correct Answer: 1717
Solution : The value of $x=\frac{\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11}} $ After rationalizing this, we get, $ =\frac{(\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11})(\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11})}{(\sqrt{13}-\sqrt{11})(\sqrt{13}+\sqrt{11})} $ $=\frac{(13+2\sqrt{143}+11)}{(13-11)} =\frac{24+2\sqrt{143}}{2} =12+\sqrt{143}$ The value of $y=\frac{1}{x} =\frac{1}{12+\sqrt{143}} $ After rationalizing this, we get, $ =\frac{(12-\sqrt{143})}{(12+\sqrt{143})(12-\sqrt{143})} =\frac{(12-\sqrt{143})}{1} = 12-\sqrt{143}$ $⇒3x^{2}-5xy+3y^{2}$ $=3(12+\sqrt{143})^{2}-5(12+\sqrt{143})(12-\sqrt{143})+3(12-\sqrt{143})^{2}$ $=3(144+24\sqrt{143}+143)-5(144-143)+3(144-24\sqrt{143}+143)$ $=3(287+24\sqrt{143})-5+3(287-24\sqrt{143})$ $=861+72\sqrt{143}-5+861-72\sqrt{143}$ $=1717$ Therefore, the value of $3x^{2}-5xy+3y^{2}$ is 1717.
Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold parts at 1, 2, and 3 that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is 4.

Question : The Principal that yields a Compound Interest of Rs. 420 in the second year at 5% per annum is:
Option 1: Rs. 7,000
Option 2: Rs. 5,000
Option 3: Rs. 8,000
Option 4: Rs. 6,000
Correct Answer: Rs. 8,000
Solution : Let the Principal amount be Rs. $P$. We know that Compound Interest amount $A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^n$ The amount at the end of the first year $= P(1+\frac{5}{100})$ = $1.05P$ The amount at the end of the second year $= P(1+\frac{5}{100})^2$ = $1.1025P$ The Compound Interest earned
Question : A man starts from place P and reaches place Q in 7 hours. He travels $\frac{1}{4}$th of the distance at 10 km/hr and the remaining distance at 12 km/hr. The distance between P and Q is:
Option 1: 72 km
Option 2: 90 km
Option 3: 80 km
Option 4: 70 km
Correct Answer: 80 km
Solution : Given: Time taken to reach from P to Q = 7 hours Speed for the $\frac{1}{4}$th of the distance = 10 km/hr Speed for the remaining distance = 12 km/hr Let the distance be $4x$ km. According to the given condition, $\frac{x}{10}+\frac{3x}{12}=7$ ⇒
